I feel bad for missing school?

Hey everyone

I have a very important college interview tomorrow, so I have to miss school. So far, I've missed 10 days of school and I feel SO bad =( Is that REALLY bad? The worse thing is I remember only being ill for 5 of those days, but the rest I actually can't remember. My predicted grades are 5A*'s, 5A's and 3B's, if that helps. I feel really really bad, coz it's gonna be 11 days now out of the whole of year 11. Thank you.

    In my high school, you can miss 9 unexcused days of school for each semester.

    So, say you missed 5 days and you had a doctor's note for those days and then you skipped 6 days of school, this would signal your credit for the courses you were taking to go into review. However, since you had an official excuse for those 5 "sick" days, you would most likely be granted credit for your classes.

    When, you get reviewed, they also look at things like past performance.

    BEWARE: This is information for my school district and it might not be the same for yours. A good rule though is don't miss more than 10% of the days for each semester (2 quarters) which would probably be around 9 days anyway.

    Hope this helps!

    Source(s): My school experience. My credit was reviewed because I had missed over 9 days for the semester, but I had good grades and many of my days were excused by doctor's notes.

    y'd u miss the other extra 5 days then with out feeling bad like this. this is a legit excuse and the 5 sick ones were, and the other 5 ones had no excuse, you should have felt bad then, not now. this is a good reason to miss. those other days were the issue.

  • I've missed 21 days of school in the past couple of months. Don't feel bad...lmao...If its excused you should be fine.
